So, how's your New Year been?

Mine?  I woke up late, got up late, had hog maw with mom for lunch, screwed around online a bit.

OH, and yeah, I almost forgot.  My car's not working.

Yep, that's Belle, up on a rollback (and one of the cute guys who came to get her).  Seems the ignition's not working.  Whether it's frozen or the mechanism itself isn't working, who knows?  But they took her out to my mechanic's place, so she's sitting there waiting for him tomorrow.

That's the down side.  The up side is that I already have off the next two days and I have nowhere I HAVE to be during that time.  So if it HAD to happen, this was probably the best time for it to happen.  It still sucks to not have a working vehicle, even if you don't have to use any leave to take off work because of it.

So, what does one do when one doesn't have a working vehicle?  One (or at least THIS one) has a glass of beer while the chili he's making simmers on the stove!

Yum!  Looking forward to supper here in lil bit!  Hot fresh chili will do one a LOT of good on a frigid, January, non-car-having evening!
